Our Premium Assorted Mollies are lively, colorful, and perfect for any peaceful freshwater setup. Mollies are popular for their ease of care, bold personality, and wide range of patterns and colors. This assorted pack includes healthy, tank-bred individuals from a rotating mix of varieties such as black, dalmatian, gold dust, marble, and more — offering a beautiful contrast of shapes and shades in every group.
What We Love About These Fish:
• Incredible Variety: Each group features a vibrant mix of color and fin types.
• Easy to Care For: Hardy and adaptable, making them ideal for beginners and experienced hobbyists alike.
• Peaceful and Active: Great additions to planted and community tanks.
• Livebearers: Fascinating to observe as they may give birth to fry in the aquarium.
Natural Habitat:
Mollies are native to coastal streams and brackish estuaries in Central and North America. In aquariums, they do well in freshwater and can tolerate low levels of salinity.
Aquascaping:
• Plants: Enjoys heavily planted tanks with floating and midground cover (Hornwort, Vallisneria, Anubias).
• Hardscape: Use smooth stones or driftwood to create gentle structure and swimming corridors.
• Botanicals: Indian almond leaves can support coloration and overall fish health.
Diet and Feeding:
Mollies are omnivorous with a strong appetite for both plant and protein-based foods. Offer high-quality flakes, spirulina-based pellets, and occasional treats like frozen daphnia or bloodworms. Blanched veggies like zucchini or spinach are also appreciated.
Tank Mates and Compatibility:
Mollies are peaceful community fish and do well with tetras, corydoras, swordtails, platies, guppies, and rasboras. Males may sometimes show mild aggression; keeping a ratio of 2-3 females per male helps reduce this behavior.
Shrimp Safe?
Generally safe with adult shrimp. May nip at tiny or newly molted shrimp if underfed or overcrowded. Providing moss or hiding spaces helps protect shrimp fry.
Breeding:
Mollies are livebearers and breed readily in home aquariums. Females give birth to live fry approximately every 4-6 weeks. Fry can be raised in the main tank if dense plant cover or moss is available for shelter.
Recommended Tank Parameters:
• Temperature: 74° – 82° F (23° – 28° C)
• pH: 7.5 – 8.5
• KH: 10 – 25 dKH
• Minimum Tank Size: 20 gallons
Care Guidelines:
• Diet: Omnivorous; enjoys algae and supplemental vegetable matter
• Social Behavior: Peaceful and active; best kept in groups
• Origin: Tank-bred
• Average Adult Size: 3 – 4.5 inches (7.6 – 11.4 cm)
• Average Purchase Size: 1.5 – 2.5 inches (3.8 – 6.3 cm)
